MAR 20 CALGARY AT LAST
Today the temperature goes from 3 to 0 to -4. A sign of what's to come! Wen we ge tup at 8 most p people have already left. WE have clear roads but it's foggy. Ted had to scrape ice off the windshield today.
At 11am we hit the border and spend almost 2 hours waiting to get through. We could have brought in any amount of illegal goods. The lineup gets a bit ugly as people don't follow the general direction of going form 2 lanes to one to 4 at the kiosks. Then we are only 2 minutes at Immigration and through.
We are not told specifically not to stop on the way home so we stop at Superstore for groceries, having been away for 5 months. Later we find out we shouldn't have done that. Who knew? Thee was no ground beef or eggs there! Chickens gone on strike?
We return to Alberta, sun and blue sky but the temperature today goes from -7 to -11 to -8 to -1.
At 6pm we roll into our driveway which is cleared. WE can't get our RV into our usual parking spot as it's full of snow now, but we are to going anywhere any time soon.
Our lovely neighbour has left a note. Michelle and Ella are in isolation as they have been exposed to someone with the C19 virus. But her dad will shop for anything we need. So kind.
Over the next 3 weeks, we will stay totally in the house, except for one trip Apr 8 for Ted to pick up his wine!
It is inconceivable that the world is staying home. The economic fallout is going to be disastrous. Deaths are going to be mammoth. And we are all going to have to learn to live in a far different world from what we have known all our lives.
The clock stops at 138,030. We started at 130,700. Almost 8,000kms on the road
